There's a lot of characters shown here. Don’t worry though, it’s not technically necessary to know all of them by name. Few of them are crucial to the story, but you never know, I may come up with a perfect role for some of these kids. ^_^

Also, you can almost kinda sorta see Rain’s left eye for the first time. The wacky part: I totally don’t remember drawing it like that. O_o

Huh. I thought I’d have more to say about this one. But all of my points escape me at the moment. These ten-hour shifts at my job are apparently killing my ability to think. Oh well. If you guys have questions about it, just ask as always. ^_^

@Derpington:
He's not referring to anyone else as an FtM. He's poking fun at the other guys stalking Rain around. This is not an uncommon phrase among guys (and I can promise that).

Regardless, I'm trying to tell a story with realistic characters based on things I've heard and experienced. I am never trying to offend anyone with anything said in this comic. But it's worth mentioning that sometimes characters (even "good guys", so to speak) are going to say some dumb things because they don't know better. It becomes up to the reader to understand this and accept that I'm not always portraying the characters as saying what "should be said". Rather, most of the time, I'm writing them based on "what most likely would be said".

Anyway, long story short, I don't make a habit of insulting people; I'm trans myself and I know how it feels. I just try to write my characters as believably as I can.
